Philippians 2:23–27 · Berean Standard Bible

23 So I hope to send him as soon as I see what happens with me.

24 And I trust in the Lord that I myself will come soon.

25 But I thought it necessary to send back to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, and fellow soldier, who is also your messenger and minister to my needs.

26 For he has been longing for all of you and is distressed because you heard he was ill.

27 He was sick indeed, nearly unto death. But God had mercy on him, and not only on him but also on me, to spare me sorrow upon sorrow.
